Religious Studies A-level

UPDATED 20160302 14:00:45

Does God exist? If God exists and is good then why is there so much suffering in the world? Why should we believe in the concepts of miracles? Is religion just a fiction invented to bring comfort to people in difficult times? Is it ever morally right to go to war? Are abortions acceptable? These are the kind of questions that you will study. We will examine some of the answers that the great philosophers have given to these questions over the centuries. You will broaden your horizons and develop your powers of reasoning. You will also learn to express your views clearly and logically both in speech and in writing. You will develop knowledge and skills that will be highly appreciated both by universities and employers.This course can be studied as part of the Communication Pathway.
